Green Wolfe Eel Help!

[boosted306]

I have an eel that I have had for several months in a well established tank. Tonight I fed him and all of a sudden he is breathing extremely heavy. Should I be worried or is this normal. My water parameters are great. The temperature is right around 78. Any thoughts?

Don't worry it's normal. He is just consuming more oxygen to help digest. It may last for hours or even one day.
